About this listen

From a comic mastermind comes this brilliant collection of stories

Three teenagers believe they are witches.

A woman defaces a local billboard.

A bored landlord tries to influence his son's best friend.

A cul-de-sac WhatsApp group discusses eggs at length.

A heavily pregnant woman finds a way to time travel and a girl discovers joy on a stolen bicycle . . .

Each tale paints a life in miniature and offers an escape chute from the catastrophes of modern life.

Keep listening after the credits for an interview with Josie Long.

A brilliant collection of stories

The stories move at a good pace and the characters are fully developed. There is a lot of variety in the stories, told through different narrators.

Beautifully written rollercoaster

Absolutely loved listening to Josie reading her book. I don’t think I’ve felt so many different emotions all at once.
Wonderful 🤩
